"Surrey lost their grasp on the County Championship trophy for the first time in 1,100 days, but saw a glimpse into their future as Ralphie Albert took centre stage against Hampshire. Nottinghamshire confirmed themselves as champions midway through the evening to end Surrey's three-season dynasty as red ball kings. But Albert, the 17-year-old grandson of snooker icon Jimmy White, celebrated his first two first-class wickets before picking up a maiden red-ball fifty to give Surrey a chance of sending Hampshire to Division Two."
"The England Under-19 all-rounder bowled Scott Currie and caught and bowled Kyle Abbott in the morning as Hampshire claimed a 101 run first-innings lead. He then struck 61 not out during a 97-run stand with Dan Lawrence in the evening Surrey ended the day on 225-6 with a 124 lead, with Hampshire needing to at least match Durham's result to avoid relegation."
Surrey relinquished the County Championship after Nottinghamshire secured the title, ending Surrey’s three-season red-ball dominance. Seventeen-year-old Ralphie Albert, grandson of snooker icon Jimmy White and an England Under-19 all-rounder, took his first two first-class wickets—bowling Scott Currie and caught-and-bowling Kyle Abbott—and later scored a maiden red-ball fifty, an unbeaten 61 in a 97-run partnership with Dan Lawrence. Hampshire posted 248 in the first innings with Washington Sundar contributing 56, and spin exploited the tail. Surrey finished day two on 225-6, leading by 124, leaving Hampshire needing to match Durham’s result to avoid relegation.
